Requirements

Operates on the text body of the front word processing document.

This script works with AppleWorks 6. A limited AppleWorks 5 version might be developed if there is a lot of demand (page numbers and database records are very difficult or impossible to script).

Only registered users are permitted to use the supplied files after 14 days or edit them.

Download

This script is included in the Enhancement Pack for AppleWorks, not supplied separately.
